Next, I sprinkled white embossing powder on the the chipboard flourish and then tapped off the excess.

Using a stamper's heat gun, I heated the powder until it became shiny. Make sure to wave the heat gun and not concentrate it in one place for too long as it will warp and burn.

You can see the raised embossed area above.

Next, using the Stamper's Big Brush Gift Set brush in red, I just started applying it. The tip allows you to get into small crevices. Or you can use the side of the brush to cover large areas at once (see below).

Next, I started adding more colors. When I do the next step, the blending will happen and it won't look so divided up.

Taking a kleenex, napkin or paper towel, start rubbing and blotting the excess ink. Now that flower pattern comes through!

The final product!

All in all, I liked the Stamper's Big Brush Gift Set. They pens are easy to use and are very juicy. I love how easy and quick it was to cover this chipboard flourish. I was pleased with how the resist technique came out.

Pros: Lots of great coverage.
Pen nibs are very fine, allowing for placing color in tight corners and along edges. Very useful for using with chipboard shapes.
They blend nicely, are waterproof and don't bleed through your papers. They are also archival.

Cons: I wanted to use these with my rubber and clear stamps to apply different colors to my stamps but I could not get a good image to come through. There may be a trick I am unaware of that makes these work well with stamps, but I do not know what it is. I even tried breathing on the stamp right before stamping to moisten it but it still wouldn't work.

I love it when you demonstrate new techniques with different products. I am always afraid to purchase them until I know exactly what to do with them and how to use them. You do that job for me and I REALLY APPRECIATE IT! Thanks so much.

Don't know if this area is where I leave a comment on my favorite Lite cartridge, but here goes....I like the Lite Recess although I do not own it....someday!!!! Also love the Lite Lacy labels. Joan JSMK426@yahoo.com

I love the lite cartridges, I just love cricut and everything about it. I don't know if I have a really favorite one, but I like Lacy labels to cut out big background pieces. have you seen Spectrum Noir inks and if so what do you think about them. I tried to win on ebay and lost.
